What are these Kaarine? Is that Theravada Buddhism?

Yes. I think it is a very healthy tradition because its closeness and loyalty to the teachings of the historical Buddha and the plain language they use so to keep us in practice. Indeed I really feel that what they do is just to make understandable and accessible the teachings of Buddha more than a regular "tradition" in itself to be subscribed at. They are not arround philosophical struggling so mind do not tend to wander into intelecutal realms and hidden meanings binging us away from what the Buddha taught.

Buddhadasa Bhikkhu's "Handbook for Mankind" is an example of those kind of teachings and teachers.

"What the Buddha Taught" is a good place to meet them. Highly recommendable is Ajahn Chah.
